Thank you.
Last year, the Association of Chairs of Psychiatry in Canada wrote to the government calling on it to delay MAID for mental illness, citing a pure lack of readiness. Among the issues cited was a lack of certainty around determining irremediability in the case of mental illness, and a lack of understanding with respect to distinguishing a request for MAID from suicidality.
My first question is, are we any better off now than we were a year ago when it comes to reliably determining irremediability?
